[quote="Highlander"]I thought his form dropped a little as well, started putting in 7/10 rather than the 8/9 he’d started the season with. I assumed it was off field stuff, contracts etc[/quote]
Agreed. The way some of our fans go on about his drop off in form is just thick (usual suspects) his early form in the season was so hard to maintain throughout, his try scoring rate for a back rower was ridiculous. While that may have dropped off, it may have been because opposition coaches became aware and specifically tried to nullify it. He wasn't as bad as some made out. I certainly don't remember him missing tackles or costing us games in the second half of the year.
It's a great player to have signed up again.
